According to Wikipedia:
Sgt Bilko (Phil Silvers) and his men seemed to spend very little time actually performing their duties—Bilko in particular spent most of his time trying to wheedle money through various get-rich-quick scams and promotions, or to find ways to get others to do his work for him.
You decide.
Spitting image, Sergeant Bilko to attention. About as much use as well.
OMG I just googled Phil Silvers. This is hilarious
Silvers became a household name in 1955 when he starred as Sergeant Ernest G. Bilko in 'You'll Never Get Rich', later retitled The Phil Silvers Show. The military comedy became a television hit, with the opportunistic Bilko fast-talking his way through one obstacle after another.
OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
